SALE picks from the high street under £75

Sale picks H&M

 

With the new year comes the sales! From Designer to High Street – everyone is discounting the last season and tempting us with spring colours and chiffon dresses. Be smart and shop the pieces that were a little out of your price range or just haven’t made it into your closet yet – cause you still have a couple of months to wear it until the weather will let you throw on your chiffon dresses!

Here are my favorites from the high street’s big retailers! Which ones are your favorites? Links below the pictures!

H&M: My H&M picks are all quite classic shapes with a little twist. I love H&M for timeless shapes that you can wear in different seasons and different occasions. The palette is pretty much in soft, simple shades of black, blue, grey and beige.

Topshop Sale
 
 
Topshop: Topshop is the place to go for more quirky, on-trend designs and patterns. I picked a wild mix of things that caught my eye; I sometimes find their online offering a bit overwhelming… these are some things that I would like to take home. As Topshop is a little on the pricier side in terms of high street they do have some great bargains during the sale and I especially love their wide choice of whimsy heels that are usually more than 50% off… (check out those burgundy leather booties and the embellished coat, both down to €36 from €120!)

 

New Look sale
 

NEW LOOK: New Look has a really impressive sale going on right now, I had a really hard time choosing the items as I loved so many things on the website! They have a great selection of dresses, tops and skirts and I loved the bags and rings I saw. They discounted heavily and since New Look is quite affordable already most of these lovely items are a total bargain! Check out the T-Shirt for less then a tenner and the cute backpack for under £15!

And yes, I want all of it.

haul – topshop outlet london

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I’ve spend my tuesday afternoon with a pilgrimmage to Edgeware. Edgeware is at the end of the northern line and quite far bloody far away from me. But what you wouldn’t do for a Topshop Outlet store? Ok, the total travel time wasn’t more than an hour and in London I’ve gotten quite acustomed to travelling for ages so it wasn’t all that bad. Was it worth it? Hell yeah.

The shopping centre is just around the corner of Edgeware station but I managed to run around for ages in the wrong directions before I found it. –.-‘ It took me a while before I discovered what I was looking for (the Topshop is located in one of the far corners of the centre) so I had a look around in Internacionnale in the meantime – and found these three beauties in the sale:

043100 034

The collar and the beaded bag were just £2 and the scarf £5!

When I entered the Outlet store I was greeted by massive “SALE”  and “"buy one get one free!” signs everywhere. I steered to the first rail and my first impression was: oh no. Most of the stuff was ripped / missing buttons / very old season and or increadibly misshaped. But rail by rail the selection got better and after 15 min I already carried around 20 items around and made my way to the fitting rooms. I could have spend hours in that store and had to leave a lot of things because I couldn’t try them on anymore (they close the fitting rooms half an hour prior to closing) but I had so much stuff anyways!

The store has a bit of a thrift store / charity shop feeling because many things are only available once and you have to dig through a lot of not-so-nice stuff but you can definately find many great bargains. The good thing is that everything is sorted by garment type and sizes which makes finding what you are looking for a lot easier.
In my opinion one of the best things is the jewellery rail. I got ten items in the end and everything is £1,50!!! PLUS you get the buy one get free so every second one is FREEEEE! :D

When I went to the till I had no idea how much it would be in total and I was so surprised when I saw the numbers on the display – £50.50!!! The most expensive item I got was the white polka dot blouse – reduced from £40 to £20. But then I got the Ashish “AU SECOURS” shirt for £15 for free!  And the list goes on; so if you go there make sure you have even numbers of clothing items and accessories!

Btw, all items at normal price would have added up to £247!!!

070062-tile049074091

My verdict:067

AU SECOURS!; attention or you’re going to spent all your money in that store! They get new stock every week so it’s not like you will see the same stuff all the time and the value for money is beyond amazing!

The adress is:

10b The Broadwalk Centre
Station Road
Edgware
Middlesex
HA8 7BD

Nearest tube: Edgware (Northern Line)

still looking for the perfect winter coat?

Still out and about in your trusty denim vest or battered leather jacket? Agreed, you do look good but winter is almost here and it might be time to get yourself wrapped up in one of this seasons trend coats. Here are a few suggestions:

5

1) River Island        2) Topshop        3)Topshop        4) Miss Selfridge

Topping this year’s hot list are definately nice long coats with fake fur lapels. The mix of wool coat and fur lapel will keep you stylish AND warm this winter. Go for earthy tones to match pretty much all your outfits and to keep it classic. If you’re on a budget, try throwing a fake fur stole over one of your old winter coats to give it a new look or check out your local charity shops for vintage pieces.

21) Topshop       2)New Look       3) Topshop       4) New Look

Bordeaux and Burgundy; Berry Colours are all over the high street at the moment. Add a dash of colour to your wardrobe with these wonderful numbers. Plus you won’t have to worry too much about spilling your mulled wine. ;)

  3

1) New Look       2) Miss Selfridge       3) River Island       4) Dorothy Perkins

Animal print fur coats are still big this season, so if you still have your trusty leopard print coat from last year, don’t be afraid to wear it! These kind of coats are not for shy peeps as they pretty much scream “Look at me!”. But don’t let the print put you off, they are actually very versatile and wearable. This years on-trend addition to the family are dalmation spots – if you don’t want to go full force try adding dalmation accessories to your look for an instant wardrobe update.

4

1) Topshop       2) New Look       3) Miss Selfridge       4) River Island

The Parka is definately a wardrobe staple and every girl should have one. Parkas are versatile and stylish and always on trend. Ideal to make the transition from autumn to winter, these weather resistant beauties will keep you warm and dry in wind and snow. Charactaristic for a proper Parka is a nice fur-lined hood and big front pockets to burry your hands in. Traditionally Parkas were used by the military which is why they are usually green but if you wan’t to go for a more sophisticated look, there is plenty of other colours to choose from!

1) Topshop       2) Miss Selfridge       3) Miss Selfridge       4) Dorothy Perkins

Don’t be afraid to invest in a nice duffle coats because they are, like Parkas, always on trend. These classic coats are usually made from a thick wollen material and closed with a number of toggle-fastenings at the front. This year’s duffle coats come in all kinds of shades and with a hood or without but mostly with a bit of fake fur. A duffle gives every outfit an instant twist because of the detailing on the front in combination with the classic cut.

1    1) Miss Selfridge       2) Dorothy Perkins       3) Miss Selfridge       4) Topshop

Speaking of classic cuts, with these coats you simply can’t go wrong. The classic coat shape single- or double-breasted will be with you for all times and through all trends. Keep it simple and classic and invest in a one-coloured coat either in black or brown to go with everything. Or try one of this season’s trends and go for contrast – either contrasting sleeves or, a bit mor subtile, a contrasting lapel. Again you can update these by throwing on a fur stole and transforming it into an on-trend piece.

love on first sight

IMG_8973IMG_8969IMG_8972    Satchel, New Look.

With bags I am pretty much hit or miss. Either I see one and fall in love instantly or it will never work between us. When I saw this baby in New Look the other day I just couldn’t take my eyes of it. Unsurprisingly both the gal at the changing rooms as well as the cashier loved it too… she is just too beautiful.

I know that I do have quite a lot of bags and I really don’t need another satchel, but I just know that I am going to wear this one A LOT. And since I got it I wore it pretty much everyday so that’s for my lame justification. ^^

Have you ever seen something you’ve fallen in love with instantly? (Exept boyfriends… ;) )

Wenn es um Taschen geht bin ich sehr wählerisch. Entweder ich liebe sie von dem Moment an dem ich sie sehe oder es wird nie was zwischen uns beiden. Als ich dieses Baby vor ein paar Tagen in New Look entdeckt habe konnte ich meine Augen nicht mehr davon abwenden. Natürlich waren auch die Lady in der Umkleidekabine und die Kassiererin sofort hin und weg… sie ist halt einfach wunderschön.

Ich weiß dass ich sehr viele Taschen habe und eigentlich brauche ich auch keine weitere “Satchel”, aber ich weiß einfach dass ich diese SEHR VIEL tragen werde. Seit dem ich sie gekauft hab hatte ich sie jeden Tag dabei also reicht das wohl als Rechtfertigung. ^^

Habt ihr euch auch schon mal auf den ersten Blick in etwas verliebt? (Ausgeschlossen Freunde… ;) )

a walk after the rain

IMG_8637 IMG_8641 IMG_8643IMG_8642IMG_8645 IMG_8646 IMG_8649

Hey everyone!
Hope you’re enjoying your sunday as much as I do! London is treating us with the finest English weather at the moment, but from time to time the sun does make an appearance. So I decided to take a walk after the rain when the air was crisp and the sun glistening in the raindrops.

I’ve had a cystitis the last couple of days (nasty one!) so I avoided going anywhere apart from the obligatory duties like food shopping etc. So while I was more or less forced to stay at home, I used the time to photograph the stuff from my closet clear out and put (most of it) on my Kleiderkreisel account. If you’re not registered but you see anything that you like, feel free to write me an email at londonlastnight[at]hotmail[dot]com. There will be more stuff coming shortly, just takes me ages…

Yesterday I also went to the Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford, I guess you might have heard of it on a couple of other british blogs, there was the Look Show going on. Basically they’re presenting the new collections from all the main high street retailers there (e.g. H&M, New Look, River Island…). It was in all honesty the most crowded place I have ever been to (and I hate crowded places) so I had a look around an buzzed off after about an hour without buying anything. I would like to have a proper look at the massive F21 in the future but I guess I’ll be avoiding Stratford for the next few weeks until things have cooled down a bit.

On another note, I opened a twitter account on friday and I am still pretty clueless how it works. I am yet to discover what’s so special about it. Maybe you’d like to enlighten me and give me a little intro into the whole twitter thing? You can also follow me if you want but be aware that there is not much going on (as of yet) and I’m not even sure if I got the right link. We’ll see what twitter brings!

So hope you’re all well and have a nice cozy sunday evening!

lace, cream, crochet and peter pan

New Look is quickly becoming one of my favourite High Street reatailers, just look at all of these fab pieces! They sure know what is bang on trend right now: crochet, lace, cream and peter pan collars! Throw in the obligatory flatform and a killer wedge and your good to go for spring!

These are some of the things that wandered into my virtual basket lately but I didn’t order anything (yet :P ) because I am leaving for San Francisco next wednesday! Whoop Whoop! So I need to save my money for some amazing vintage shopping over there and generally all the stuff that’s planned (LAS VEGAS BABY!).

The lace crochet top and the envelope clutch are two things I really wanna get though, aren’t they pretty?

b01 – Strappy Wedge , 02 – Sailor Peter Pan Dress , 03 - Cable Knit Boyfriend Cardigan, 04 – Lace Peter Pan Top, 05 – Envelope Clutch, 06 - Wooden Strappy Sandal , 07 – Crochet Peter Pan Tunic, 08 – Crochet Poncho

I don’t know about other countries but those particular Zara Wedges were huge in Germany last year and the year before and I was quite surprised to see a similar pair on New Look’s website:   kujk

I doubt they will be as good qualtiy as the Zara ones and the Heel looks different but for this price it’s quite a steal!

Anyways, I gotta get back to my assignement. Have a nice day everyone!

p.s: they’ve got free shipping today! ;)
